2008 Verdelho $20.00 Our first Verdelho sourced
from Ballandean fruit. The nose features fresh fruit characters of pineapple
and passionfruit. The wine is made in a crisp acid driven style that
makes a great refreshing drink. This is an unwooded, drink now wine
that invites itself to lunch, especially after you have climbed the
Pyramids! Try it chilled with sashimi tuna - it's a great match. Enjoy! |

2008 Merlot $22.00 Continuing
in our fruit driven style, this Merlot has the classic characters of
ripe cherries and plums with bright crimson hues. It features fine soft
tannins with juicy sweet fruit flavours. Minimal oak treatment has enhanced
the delicate varietal characters. Delicious now and given good conditions
will suit short term cellaring. Serve with Swiss brown mushrooms, grilled
haloumi, eggplant and dried tomato, wrapped in proscuitto with truffle
and parsnip mash. |

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon $25.00 This 4 barrel blend
is made from 100% estate grown fruit. Rich, ripe cabernet fruit gives
intense varietal characters of spearmint and blackberry. 20 months in
quality French oak contributes subtle spice and vanilla characters.
Our Cabernets really need a couple of years in the bottle to hit their
straps so those who can keep this wine stashed in a suitable place for
at least a couple of years will be well rewarded. Serve with marinated
lamb rump and Mediterranean vegetables. |

2007 Shiraz $30.00 (Trophy & Gold) This wine is made from 100% estate grown fruit. A combination of new and one year old American and French oak shows vanilla and coconut on the bouquet. A rich wine with elegant structure, fine tannin and good length make this wine very easy to drink. Great drinking now but will reward those who can keep it for at least a few years. This wine will show its best if decanted. Enjoy! Total Production: 145 dozen. |

2008 MourvedreLimited
Release 2008 was our best year
so far for this variety in terms of both yield and quality. 50% barrel
fermented in new French barriques. The first time we have used these barrels
and this technique. It shows the classic varietal characters of spice
and vibrant dark fruit paired with a fine persistent tannin structure.
It's a great expression of the fruit characters of this variety. Maturation
in a combination of French and American oak has added complexity without
dominating the fruit. Delicious now but has plenty of ageing potential
if you can keep it away from your mates for a few years! This is our StrangeBird wine. If you have not heard of the Granite Belt StrangeBird trail, please visit the website. www.strangebird.com.au |

2007 Bernies Blend $35.00
Bernies Blend is dedicated
to Bernie, father of Warren the winemaker, whose help and encouragement
have assisted greatly in the establishment of Pyramids Road Wines. This
3 barrel blend is a selection of some of the best barrels from our 2007
vintage. The combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Mourvedre
with a mix of new French and American oak gives a wine of remarkable
character, just like its namesake. Intense dark berry flavours combine
with subtle toasty oak to give a wine with real depth and complexity.
While drinking well now it will reward those who can put it away for
at least a few years. Serve with rib fillet rolled in herbs and porcini
mushrooms.
